Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not to be rude, but maybe we shouldn't be waiting to be saved by people who are literally struggling and in pain. What a fucking coddled ass attitude. "I'm comfy, I need someone who isn't comfy to step up and fight for me so I don't have to stop being comfy!" God damn it fuck that shit.
I wake up every morning in pain. I'm exhausted all day every day, chronic fatigue is a normal thing with cancer. I used to love that I never had headaches and I always felt bad for people who did, now I get blistering migraines where I have to hide from any and all light because I can't open up my eyes without them watering to where I can't see from pain. I don't even have a fucked up cancer where I need chemotherapy and a port in my chest.
With all due fucking respect (read: none), I'm suffering, they're suffering, maybe one of you able bodied motherfuckers should step up for us for once, for fucks sake.
We all have everything to lose in the face of fascism, don't expect people who have already lost everything to really want to step up and save people who never lifted a fucking finger for them and who stand around waiting for those who are suffering the worst to step up.
Guess what, evil has already triumphed, which means we've had generations of "good men" doing nothing.
